Scott hi, I know it does not sound logic however I do need to set the row count to 1 in case row count returns 0 , can you show how to add that case clause and dummy line in my below code ? SELECT a.eventuei AS _eventuei, a.nodeid AS _nodeid, a.ipaddr AS _ipaddr, now() AS _ts FROM events a WHERE a.eventuei='uei.opennms.org/comns/backup-success-trap' AND (eventcreatetime > now() - interval '10 minutes') Thanks !!!!

The row count is the count of rows returned. If there are no rows matched by the query, then what exactly do you expect to happen?
